Mr.. DePsuw's objections. however
could not be overcome, and when Ell1
was married to Andrew Mcintosh on
November ~, 1868, less than year aiker
her fathers marriage, Il Il said NJ. De.
Psuw was not present.
THE MARRIl az,
however. WAS IN tho old Centenary
church on Spring street near Third,
which has received many benedictions
from Mr.. DePauw, and the ceremony
was performed by the Rev. James Hill.
Miss DePauw was then about seventeen
years old and beuutiful girl. She had
much of the likeness OF her father which
has increased ss she has grown older.
After the marriage Mr.. DePauw put
aside bis feelings and set Mr. Mcintosh
up in business at Salem. Mcintosh
seemed to prosper fairly. Ten years af-
ter bis marriage he got into politics and
was elected Sheriff Of Washington coun-
ty. He seems 10 have lost money BY his
political ventures. and year or two a.

became disgusted. He had made will
in 1881 giving Mrs. Mcintosh q fair share
in his estate, but in 1885, after the death
of favorite daughter by his present
wife, he had to revise this will, and on
account Of McIntosh's failure cot OF the
latter's wife with comparatively small
share. Mr.. Mcintosh has since been ap-
pointed Deputy Collector of Internal
Revenue. and now holds that Office. He
is said TO be man Of unexceptionable
habits, and the only grounds OF ofense
have been his lack OF success in money
making and bis dabbIing in politics. II
Is not known that he ever had any per-
sonal disagreement with Mr.. DePauw.
Although Mrs. DcPauw would have
her share Of the estate doubled By break
ing the will, and the sons and Miss
Florence would all get more money than
under the present arrangement, they
will join with the executors In fighting

Harvesting Tobacco.

Do not be in a hurry to begin cut
ting your tobacco till it is ripe, and
enough fully and uniformly ripe to fill
barn. A thin butcher or shoe knife,
well sharpened, and wrapped with a
soft cloth around the handle and ex-
tending an inch along the blade, will
do the work effectually and be easy to
the hand. TRY it. Put knives into the
hands of experienced cutters only
men who know ripe tobacco, and will
select plants uniform in color and tex
tnre. and will cut no other. Have
your sticks already in the field, and
placed in piles convenient-sticking a
stick vertically in the ground over each
pile that they may be more easily
found when wanted. Pine sticks,
rived three-fourths of an inch, by one
inch and one fourth of an inch and
four and one-half feet long, drawn
smooth, are best
Start together two cutters and one
stick holder-the cutters carrying two
rows each and the stakeholder walk
ing between them. The cutter takes
hold of the plant with his left hand at
the top near where the knife enters the
stalk; with his right he splits the stalk
down the center observing to guide
the knife so as not to sever the leaves)
to within three inches of the point he
intends to sever the stalk from the
hill; and as the knife descends his left
hand follows the slit or opening, and
when the plant is severed from the hill,
by dexterous movement of the left
hand the plant is straddled across the
stick in the hands of the holder. When
the stick has received about six me-
dunn plants, if intended for brights, it
is ready to 60 to the barn. either car
ricd by hand if near, or hauled on a
wagon if distant. If it is necessary to
use the wagon, prepare bed six
teen feet long to hold three coops on
piles, on which place tobacco as cut,
and after placing twenty-five Or thirty
sticks of cut tobacco on each coop,
drive to the barn to be unloaded.
Tobacco suitable for brights is best
handled in this way, as it is bruised
less than if handled by ary other
mode. Try it, planters, and know for
yourselves. Very heavy tobacco will
break less il, after being cut by the
above mode, the sticks are placed
gently on the ground and the plants

Suffering to Be Beautiful.

From their earliest youth the Bur-
mese men tattoo their legs from the
thighs down to the knees with designs
both floral and animal, and puncture
the upper part of their bodies with
numerous round holes, into which they
rub vermilion powder. This operation
is such that opium is often admins
tered to deaden the agonizing pain
that it causes, and l have heard that
deaths frequently ensue from gan
grenous Inflammation, the result Of
these punctures. But there is a
proverb which says, III faut soufrir
pour etre bel," and the admiration and
envy excited afterward may perhaps
compensate these victims of vanity for
the tortures to which the decoration
subjected them. The tattooing is eff
fected by the juice of plant which
stains the designs an inky black

Peach Culture.

Cultivation of peach orchards should
now (AugusD cease. for fear OF caus-
ing too late growth of wood which
would be injured by the winter Late
cultivation of the peach in the colder
parts of the peach growing sections,
is always dangerous to the hardness
of the tree. Many orchsds have their
vitality injured by too late and too
deep culture. Should weeds start and
grow, NOW them with machine close
to the ground. If the summer cul'iva-
ton has been properly done, but few
weeds will appear. Should you apply
barnyard or stable manure to the
orchard, defer it until fall; it will not
then make growth of new and ten
der wood, if warm, wet spell OF
weather should occur late in the sea-
son. The attention must be directed
to making good, ripe wood and
healthy fruit buds for next years
fruiting. These apparently small par
ticulars often secure q crop OF fruit
when others fail to secure one. PJt-
ash salts may be applied at any time
with safety.
Should the orchard now bear heavy
crop of fruit, we would sow at once
three or four hundred pounds OF muri-
ate of potash, or five hundred pounds
of kainit per acre broadcast This
will be great help to the vitality OF
the tree, and will at once improve both
the color of the fruit and the foliage OF
the tree. The kainit costs at the sea-
board about ten dollars per ton. and
the muriate about forty dollars All
fertilizer dealers keep both kainit and
muriate They are easily procured
and applied, and with bono will work
wonders in the peach orchard.

sheep than formerly, the average be-
ing doubled in twenty-five years. In
1880 the product was two and one

it had risen to five pounds. This is
due to the grading up of the common
